Sexual orientation
is one of the most fascinating aspects of our existence,
and that is because sexual thoughts and attractions are experienced
inside our minds.

just like personalities and appearances are slightly different in each person.

Different people are attracted romantically or sexually
to various features and characteristics in others.

So from then on, I started the process of accepting my feelings
and coming out as gay to my family and friends.

I would probably define myself as pansexual.

I'm more drawn to the soul and character
and less to a specific gender.

I had relationships with all genders,
as each of them met a different emotional need of mine.
♪ (music) ♪
And for the past three years, I've been living with an amazing woman,
who I'm still madly in love with.
♪ (music) ♪
As you can see, there is a wide variety of sexual orientations.

and realize that love and attraction may come in many forms.
